It’s not that we don’t know where it is. It’s that we don’t care where it is.

The news has been so depressing of late that I’ve started to watch serial killer documentaries just to decompress.

Apparently for that one person who hasn't been called re: their extended car warranty being expired...there are now endless television commercials listing everything that can go wrong with your car now that the warranty has expired. It almost sounds like the lists of side effects on pharmaceutical ads.

Well shit, this means I've been depressed for years. I was going along just fine and now this.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

How did the humble potato come to be called a "spud"?
Or, as my father calls them, "a spudato"?

It's a corruption of 'spade', which was used to dig potatoes and other root veg.

There is an unincorporated town in West Virginia called "Hooker Hollow." Anyone familiar with West Virginian pronunciations of things gets the joke. Not that this is fiction. Hooker Hollow really exists.
